ENERGY
RISING DEMAND FOR ENERGY Primary energy use expected to grow 40% by 2025, with 93% of growth to come from developing world economies. By 2025, global oil demand is predicted to be 60% greater than today Annual rate of oil consumption growing swiftly in China (+7.5%) & India (+5.5%) PARADIGM SHIFT Fossil fuel energy sources are diversifying and becoming more efficient in light of peak oil concerns Many of OPEC nations, including Saudi Arabia, are already pumping oil from known post peak fields Once field has peaked, rate of decline is dramatic and can be as much as 10%/year UNCONVENTIONAL OIL Big Oil conglomerates shifting focus to shale gals, natural gas, tar sands and deepwater offshore fields Billions invested every year to develop unconventional sources of fuel New horizontal drilling techniques are revolutionizing natural gas industry

AGRI CULT URE


COMPELLING REASONS TO INVEST Limited resources, increasing demand and rising food prices SIGNIFICANT opportunities from field to fork in commodities, farming & seed technology and agribusiness EXPONENTIAL POPULATION GROWTH How will we feed 9 billion+ people by 2050? FAO reports global agriculture production must increase 70% to meet new demand Nearly all new demand coming from developing world, where agricultural demand is set to double Historic shift in global dietary patterns as middle class shifts to a more meatcentric/energy-intensive diet. (Significant knock-on effect on water and arable land use) Noteworthy trend in developing countries, where meat consumption is growing 3X faster than rest of the world. FOOD SUPPLY/DEMAND GAP Investment in agriculture must rise 47% to $279 billion/year at a minimum Despite years of advances, gains in agricultural yield per acre have slowed to less than 1% a year Agriculture science and technology attracting new investment and government imperatives from countries around the globe

WAT E R
FRESHWATER SCARCITY
Current freshwater sources satisfy only 50% of world demand. By 2025, the world will need 25% more water than is currently available Water scarcity is an economic constraint in major growth markets such as China, India, Indonesia, Australia and the Western United States By 2025, per capita water availability in water-stressed Gulf region will likely decrease by 50% AGRICULTURE/ENERGY/WATER NEXUS Nearly 70% of global water consumption is used for agricultural irrigation. In developing nations, this can be as high as 90% Global agriculture wastes approximately 60% of the 2,500 trillion liters of water it uses every year Dangerous aquifer depletion occurring in major agricultural centers

INEFFICIENT WATER INFRASTRUCTURE


Municipalities commonly lose up to 50% of their water supplies to leaks

U.S. water infrastructure system requires $1 trillion in infrastructure upgrades


Gulf countries plan to invest $300 billion plus in crucial water projects

China plans to invest $622 billion on water infrastructure over the next decade

N AT U R A L R E S O U R C E S
WIDENING RESOURCE DEFICIT

Resource demand from developing world to exceed developed world by 2015


Demand for iron-ore, aluminum and copper to double over next 15 years, as China develops into worlds largest consumer of metals DID YOU KNOW? BY 2030, ADDITIONAL DEMAND WOULD REQUIRE Another Pilbara region (Australia) every 5 years to meet iron demand Another Saguenay (Canada) every 9 months to meet aluminum demand Another Escondido (Chile) every year to meet copper demand Another Hunter Valley (Australia) every year to meet coal demand Another Ranger (Australia) every four years to meet uranium demand

COAL IS KING
One 1,200 MW coal-fired power plant is being built every week in China. China is on track to triple coal consumption and become a net coal importer EXPANSIVE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN: Mining and exploration Timber and paper Minerals Resource production chain Precious and rare earth metals Energy commodities
